Four-Week Update:
I missed last week due to being very sick. The good news is that it happened while I was at a friend's house and didn't have to deal with that while in a big dormitory.
I've had only a couple days of actual work; I've been looking for real jobs, taking care of a friend from out of town (also homeless, now in a program at the Rescue Mission) and recovering from said illness.
Today I found a cool job doing tech support for a wireless internet company, but the training class is in the evenings so I can't do it until I have a place of my own. Monday I'll hit the day-labor place again, and start my plan all over.
I'm overdrawn at the bank and in danger of having my phone shut off, but I can still get online here at the library and I'm still alive, reasonably healthy and eating well, so I can't complain too hard.
AND I STILL AIN'T PLAYIN' SHIII (or anything else)!
New update next week, hopefully with better news.
